Arsenal are concerned about the severity of the thigh injury suffered by Bukayo Saka, the London club’s England winger, who went off early on Wednesday during their 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, according to coach Mikel Arteta, quoted by Vanguard. Saka left the pitch after falling while holding his thigh and was replaced by Eberechi Eze.
Saka is Arsenal’s joint top scorer this season, alongside Swedish striker Victor Gyökeres. Eze opened the scoring for the English club before Alphonso Davies and Harry Kane, from the penalty spot, put Bayern ahead. Declan Rice equalised late in the match.
Arteta praised his team’s performance against Bayern, whom he described as a side that “beats every team”. The Spanish coach said, however, that the medical staff were concerned about the pain Saka was feeling and that they would have to wait to assess his injury.
The match followed the publication on 19 October of the probable line-ups for Bayern-Arsenal.
